Arctic Heart (Ice Queen Series)

Let the games begin

Lada

He slowly slid me down his body and I untangled my legs from his waist. His eyes bore to mine this whole time, and when my feet were finally on the ground, he whispered something in my ear that sent goosebumps down my neck.

"Hindi pa tayo tapos, Ivanov." I have no idea what he meant by that, but the way he said it created a turmoil in the pit of my stomach. Hindi ko mawari Kung pangako ba iyon o pagbabanta. It scared and excited me at the same time.

"I..I think malapit na and mga tao sa Latin, Achilles." I heard sounds sa Hindi kalayuan, tanda na malapit na sa main and mga tao. Nakakahiya Kung makita nilang ganuon and ginawa ni Achilles sa akin, Hindi ko maintindihan bakit ko siya pinayagang gawin iyon. I must be out of my freaking mind.

Shit Lada, you are turning into a wanton slut who cannot hold her morals in one place. Nahalikan ka lang at nahawakan nawala ka na sa sarili mo!

Jesus, this brain really knows how to make me feel bad about myself.

And you Achilles, ano ba ang gusto mo talaga sa akin? I sighed.

We joined the others and finished the rest of the tour. Akala ko ay sasakay na kaming pabalik sa bangka ngunit nagsabi si Achilles na maiiwan daw kami sa isla na iyon.

"What do you mean maiiwan tayo dito, Moratti? Walang kabahayan na malapit!" I don't know what he's planning pero I think I don't like it. He smiled at me ng nakakaloko at walang sinabi.

Hinila ako ni Achilles sa isang madilim na kweba na hindi namin pinasok kanina, nadidinig ko pa ang sigaw ni Sora na sasama siya sa amin, ngunit pigil pigil siya ng kanyang mga kasama. Sa isang iglap ay nasa loob na kami at isang makipot na daan ang binabaybay namin, nahintakutan ako dahil wala akong makita at ubod ng dilim. I forgot na hawak ko pa pala ang flashlight mula kanina.

"Take off your cover up, Amore." Sabi niya habang hinuhubad din ang kanyang suot na sando.

"What the hell, Achilles! Anong balak mong gawin sa akin?!" I said incredulously. Humakbang siya sa akin at binukasan ang flashlight na hawak ko. Napaatras ako at napasandal sa malamig na bato sa loob ng kweba. I was cornered, wala na akong aatrasan, napakadilim at makipot sa bahaging iyon. Natitilihan akong nagtapang tapangan.

"I have no plans of getting fucked inside a cold, dark cave, and if you're going to rape me I will fight you and you know I can take you down." Malamig na sabi ko sa kanya. His body is just centimeters away from me, bahagya pa itong yumuko at inabot ang laylayan ng aking crochet cover up. He seductively pulled it up, deliberately making slow movements and he is grazing his hand against my skin in the process. Napasinghap ako at napapikit, it was such a sensual move and I know naapektuhan ako ng ginagawa niya. And the devil probably knows it too.

Rape talaga, Lada? Eh halos umungol ka na tinatanggal pa lang cover up mo! Ipokritang babaita!

"As much as I want to fuck you senseless here mi amore, I don't want to mar your skin with these rough stones." He whispered in my ear at tuluyan na niyang naalis sa katawan ko ang manipis na telang iyon. I gasped.

"Are you.. are you.."

"Sshhh.. I might just do what you think I'll do to you here if you don't stop being so tempting. We need to take our clothes off dahil baka sumabit sa mga bato sa ilalim ng tubig.. Makipot at mabato ang daan sa ilalim, and it's also dark. Delikado."

Humiwalay na si Achilles sa akin, sa liwanag ng flashlight na hawak namin ay iginiya niya ako sa isang madilim at maliit na butas na may tubig. It's like a tunnel but filled with water.

"Can you swim, Ivanov?" He asked na tinanguan ko lang.

"How long can you hold your breath?" He asked again.
